Slack

Pros: Slack is our primary communication tool amongst our team as we're a fully remote business, operating in different cities around the country. It's great for 1:1 messaging, but also channel-based chats, and group messaging - very quick, easy to use, and reliable.

Cons: It's probably more a broader issue with how businesses operate in the modern day, but having slack means people will message you a lot more than they would usually have picked up the phone to call you or walk over (if in an office) because it's so easy.

Pros: That I went to one place to communicate with all coworkers. I like that there were channel that made sense to the departments.

Cons: The feeds were confusing when they were closed or why they would always remain open. I didn't like that it felt hard to find old convos.

Pros: Slack ist mega praktisch für die Kommunikation im Team. Die Kanal-Struktur ist super und alles ist gut organissiert. Nachrichten kommen sofort an, das ist sehr nützlich.

Cons: Manchmal wird es etwas unübersichtich wenn es zu viele Kanäle gibt. Der kostenlosen Plan hat zu wenig Speicher und ältere Nachrictten verschwinden.

Pros: made collaboration smoother by bringing messages, updates, files, and quick discussions into one place

Cons: it can sometimes feel overwhelming , easy to miss important updates if conversations move quickly or are spread across different threads

Pros: Honestly the custom emojis. Being able to create custom emojis, especially as a remote staff member, allows for consistent engagement in the culture of our workplace.

Cons: This is more about managing slack; essentially its very easy to end up in too many channels - but then you dont want to miss the updates. I dont think this is handled very well - you are either in the them all, or you miss out. A tidier sidebar would be appreciated

Pros: What I most like about Slack are the video call feature (Huddle) and screen-recording feature (which also allows you to record audio and camera with it).

Cons: I can't think of anything significant that I don't like about Slack as a product. If anything, being owned by a smaller company rather than Salesforce would be preferred. And maybe having a different product name than "Slack" since it helps your teams get more done!

Pros: Very easy to chat with anyone! I like how they organize conversations. Notifications are easy to receive on laptop and phone. I can easily share files and also search for old files. I enjoy the ability to create and name channels. Lots of helpful features, including polls and schedule sending. I also enjoy the weekly trivia. Definitely worth the money we spend.

Cons: Honestly not much - I didn't find the card-sending features to be very helpful. I also find that some of the features, where you have to use a "/" to make them work, to be a bit confusing. Adding a bot for various features can also be time-consuming or confusing. I don't find the video calling to be helpful.

Pros: I love how easy it is to communicate to all employees internally quickly. It’s easy to create groups and channels.

Cons: Not being able to press the enter button to create a new line. I always send messages before I mean to for this reason.

Pros: Outil très pratique dans le cadre professionnel permettant une centralisation des données et surtout une gestion en temps réel des projets d’une équipe (avec sous groupes par projets par ex)

Cons: Je ne vois pas réellement d’inconvénients dans le sens ou elle répond à bon nombre de problèmes auxquelles les autres plateformes ne répondent pas

Pros: Its design: it's very attractive, user-friendly and sleek. I love the way it's organized per chats/tags, the fact that you can have calls on it as well and the integration with multiple platforms such as Google Drive and more.

Cons: Not all of its features are easy to understand. It's actually quite hard to figure out how it works at first because it's layered, but once you get the hang of it you realize it's very user friendly

Pros: The mentions of staff in the chat were easy to use and knowing they would be notified was good. Having everyone in one spot is helpful

Cons: It was very hard to navigate and log into the correct group that I needed to. I had to log in multiple times to get into the group and kept being removed from it for reasons unknown

Pros: Slacks ease of use is amazing and I love that we can creat channels for certain projects and include the employees that are involved for seamless communication.

Cons: I wish there was an easier way to find previous comments or mentions in a chat or thread. Being able to save certain conversations for yourself in a separate folder or location that is just for your reference would be helpful.

Pros: What I liked most about Slack was how effectively it helped me manage communication across multiple client organizations without losing context. As a solo product consultant, I rely on the ability to move quickly between workspaces while keeping conversations, decisions, and deliverables organized by client and project. Slack’s channel structure makes that easy, and features like Huddles help me align with clients quickly without the overhead of scheduling formal meetings. I also found the AI and automation capabilities especially valuable for summarizing long threads and reducing repetitive administrative work, which helps me stay focused on higher-value strategic work.

Cons: What I liked least about Slack was how difficult it can be to manage at scale across multiple active workspaces. As a solo consultant, notification volume can become overwhelming, and it takes constant tuning to stay responsive without disrupting focused work. I also found that search, while useful, does not always make it easy to quickly surface specific historical context, files, or decisions across busy channels and threads when I need something fast.

Pros: Easy to use, has all the features you could need, and it truly makes communication with colleagues and employees easy.

Cons: I have yet to find anything that I don't like about slack! All of it's features are helpful and the app is user-friendly.

Pros: Allows for smooth connection to vendors outside the company Easy to use Ability to open a customer support ticket via emoji is great feature

Cons: The huddles are not as intuetive as a call on other app, for exmp.: Microsoft Teams Shared links sometimes sent broken or incomplete

Pros: Intuitive and easy-to-use interface that drives quick adoption across teams Real-time communication improves speed of decision-making and issue resolution Strong channel organization keeps conversations structured and transparent Seamless integrations (e.g., project tools, file sharing) centralize workflows Search functionality makes it easy to retrieve past conversations and data

Cons: High message volume can create noise and reduce signal on critical items Easy to lose accountability without clear ownership in threads Notification overload can impact focus and productivity Important updates can get buried in fast-moving channels Requires disciplined channel governance to be effective at scale

Pros: Slack has been my go to use application. In our company we use slack across the office for our conversation. the best thing about slack is we can differentiated the starred channel and private important conversation can be pinged so it help in tracebility. the file share is way easy even for larger file size. its the one of most easy and value for money.

Cons: the only issue I face it get frequently logged out on it own and take time to log in. Also there are instances when call hung up during huddle.

Pros: It is an industry standard, apparently, as many other companies use it as have those in which I have worked.

Cons: It seems that it doesn't tell me on my phone when someone has sent me a DM, like the previous application that I used did.

Pros: The flexibility within slack has always been amazing but the new AI and automations make slack indispensable.

Cons: There could be more areas that are default set to the whole company instead of needing to be added to specific channels

Pros: Great tool for everyday work communication. The new AI features are actually super useful, especially for summarizing massive, chaotic threads when you come back from a day of meetings. But my absolute favorite part is the Workflow Builder. It makes setting up standardized IT request forms, automated onboarding messages, or daily standups incredibly easy without needing to involve developers. The integrations with almost every other tool we use are just a massive time-saver

Cons: Even though the Workflow Builder is great for basic tasks, it hits a wall pretty fast when you need real automation. The lack of proper conditional logic (if/then branching) is frustrating. If you want to build complex, multi-step flows with different outcomes based on user input, the native builder just can't handle it. You still end up having to connect external tools like n8n or Zapier to do the heavy lifting

Pros: What i liked the most about slack is i can chat with my classmates and teachers in one place with out a hassle

Cons: What i didnt like about slack is that i was a lil confusing at first but then i figured it out how too work through the app

Pros: Its organized communication through channels—it keeps conversations, files, and updates in one place, making team collaboration clear and efficient.

Cons: The biggest downside is the notification overload—it can get overwhelming with constant messages. Also, the free version has message history limits, which can make it harder to find older conversations.

Pros: Slack makes it easy to communicate with colleagues in a remote work setting with the ability to create group chats, different channels, and share files.

Cons: Depending on the version you pay for, Slack does run out of storage and will delete old messages. However, it notifies you first. I also find I sometimes have trouble with the phone app.
